Laboratories across the United States are working to literally make the blind see and the lame walk again. They’re perfecting spray-on skin and to mass-produce new body parts using bioprinters based on the jet printers attached to your home computer.

I think it is great that science can do this for the ones who need it most...Sadly, I hope it doesn't start showing up in plastic surgeon's offices, for people who don't really need it, just to re do themselves...or to redo a bad person, with a new face or something evil...
But to help the blind see, if that can be done, what a miracle that would be...

What's most exciting ..
is the use of this to help heal ..
after battle wounds ..
those who have suffered loss of hearing, ears, sight/vision ..
the kind that is now permanent (no treatment available)

With the mention of the article in regeneration of damaged retinas ..
this is especially exciting .. since there are both battle wounds to the eyes ..
as well as degenerating processes/diseases that cause this (and the blindness is the result nowadays) ..
it would be astounding to be able to regain some of what one lost due to injury/disease ...
that nowadays has no treatment at all ...

Finally! It's about time. This technology has been around for a while and I'm glad they're finally thinking about sharing it with the world. It will take a lot of pressure off the need for organ donors.
